python - Unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally

Question

I am getting this error when I run my tests with Selenium using chromedriver.

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message:
unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.9.248316,platform=Linux 3.8.0-29-generic x86)

I did download google-chrome stable and also chromedriver and have used this code to start the browser.

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')

Any suggestions anyone? Thanks.
